[Rhodes22-list] Boids-- stinkin rotten boids

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Rory,

I built a bird cover a few months ago for Joe Williams' boat.  While inexpensive, even heavy duty tarps will be a disappointment, maybe a few months or service before they fray and tear.  I'd suggest Sunbrella, fitted if possible, fixed to the boom if possible to avoid material shifting.  It is not an easy application but will work well if done right.  Same suggestion on the foredeck, which is a most likely target.  Sunbrella is easily cleaned, although much more expensive.  

I can provide more detail if you reach me off-list.

Chow,

Art
